{Why I'm Happy}

I'm not a gourmet chef. I'm not even going to put myself in the same category as {her} or {her}. I'm sure many of my talented chef friends will cringe at this recipe since it calls for a can of Cream of _________, but it's in my "comfort food" category, it's quick + easy, and a recipe often requested by others.

8-10 flour tortillas (you can use corn if you prefer). I use uncooked tortillas (they taste much better) and cook them quickly after making the sauce.

In a bowl: combine all filling ingredients but the chicken and shredded cheese. Mix well. Add chicken and cheese. Mix until incorporated.Place a generous amount of filling on one end of tortilla. Roll tortilla and place in 13X9 baking dish. Repeat process until pan is filled. (you may have to slightly overlap your tortillas)Pour red chili sauce over the enchiladas, top with shredded cheese, and bake at 350° F., 25-30 minutes until sauce is bubbling and cheese is melted. Add chopped green onions on top just before serving for garnish.I forgot to take a picture of the dish before plating on Sunday. This picture is of leftovers the next day.

Just because I cook the way I do, it doesn't mean I don't enjoy a little "classic mormon cooking" now and then (those ench's look darn good)...Did I ever tell you I CRAVE my Mom's tuna casserole with lays chips crumpled on top??

I love a good enchilada recipe and I love the fact that is does not call for cream of chicken soup! Not that I don't like cream of chicken just not in an enchilada!!! Thanks for posting something so tempting!

Those look so YUMMY! I will have to try them. Oh by the way I wanted to make that breakfast casserole for my family while I was here, can you email me the full recipie. I can remember most of it but I just wanted it written down. See you in a couple of days. Hope all is well.

Where have you found uncooked tortillas out here. Seriously, are there no hispansics out here because I know they don't eat that other crap. I always look for the tortillas with the most spanish on them, because you know they are the best! Let me know where you get yours!
